A Correct. When planning the nursing care for a child admitted with a terminal illness, it is very important to minimize the number of staff interacting with the child and family.

B Incorrect. When planning the nursing care for a child admitted with a terminal illness, it is better to encourage the family to participate in the child's care.
C Incorrect. When planning the nursing care for a child admitted with a terminal illness, it is better to not limit the amount of time the caregivers can be with the child.
D Incorrect. When planning the nursing care for a child admitted with a terminal illness, it is better to anticipate the need for grieving and provide the family with private space to meet and grieve.

Answer to Question 2

An allowance or a method for earning money teaches the child about the value of money. Children need practice and assistance in spending money wisely. Learning to manage money also teaches the child responsibility.
